    Windows Media Player Screen Capture

    All-

    Does anyone know how to capture an image from a video in WMP?? I tried pausing the movie, and hitting "Print Screen" button on my keyboard like you would do to take any normal screenshot......but when I pasted it into WORD, all that showed up was the actual media player...not the frame of the movie that was playing when I took the screenprint..the "screen" was just black...

    Any ideas on how to do this?

    I am using Win2kPro SP3
    WMP 9.00.00.3008


    Thanks

    I guess if worse come to worse I can import it into Flash and export it as individuial GIF's but that is a pretty impractical thing to do..

    Also if you dont want to change that, You can try it several times. I usually hit copy, go out and paste and get the blank image. Then just copy again and it usually will work. I dont know why though.
